I wish avatars were slightly bigger. I have a super badass avatar ready that's also UMvC3 related, but when avatar-sized it doesn't look too hot

EDIT: @_dementia, godlike.

You could shop his eyes to be looking really huge and scared down at his yo-yo and add the words "I can't control it!"

Bonus points if the yo-yo is catching fire.

Man, the Wolvkuma combo is really getting my spirits down. 60+ matches tonight. 46 of those ran nearly identical teams. It's not even about winning or losing for me anymore. It's so frustratingly boring seeing the same bnbs, same tactics, same moves used over and over and over again in a game that offers the potential for such crazy originality.

I hit my 6000th match earlier today, too. I think I've only fought three serious Shuma Goraths and a handful of really awesome Jills. I hate how little love some characters get.

Yep, and over 200 hours online to boot. I'm starting to think I'm addicted to this game! My TE stick broke a few days ago and I went through a tiny withdrawal while I waited for new parts from lizardlick. I'm a second rate fighter at best, though. Feels like I've hit a skill ceiling some time back and never breached it.

Have you run into a Shuma/Dormammu team, smurfx? :p

ugh being sleepy and playing marvel is not a good combination for me. played like complete shit. got my 5 wins added to my record finally. while i like the madcatz fighting pads way better than the regular xbox controller it is so fucking frustrating sometimes. pulling off the forward quarter circle motion is a crap shoot always. i've had so many haggar combos fucked up thanks to this and haggar doing his punching hyper instead of his stomach splash hyper. i usually get punished hard when this happens and it gets me very salty.

This is my SRK profile pic. Too lazy to make a shrunk down version for other places.

Anyway, I've been practicing Crossover Counter combos for a little bit and again realize that I should be incorporating that into my game more often. Rolling Buckler is one of the few counters in the game that has invincible startup and allows for a full combo afterward. I can get about 715K out of a 1.5 meter start (builds 1.5 more, uses 3 total).

It's the most profit for the least effort so it's no surprise people would be abusing it. If you aren't using something similar to that then you aren't really playing to win but rather just to explore the game. You can try other set ups but you would be trying much harder.

Combinations like these should be abused until Capcom gets the point. They sort of do that's why the duo is severely nerfed in UMVC3 (Wolverine more so than Akuma).

Thor
Hsienko
Felicia
X23
Trish
Iron Man
Morrigan
Viper
Chunli
Ryu
Deadpool
Spencer
Storm

Joe
Shehulk
Ammy
Taskmaster

Assist characters
Tron
Hagger
Akuma
Doom

Overused
Sentinel
Wolverine
Phoenix
Wesker
Magneto
Zero

Here's hoping they do things better with UMVC.

They definitely aren't overused, but they certainly aren't underused.

Those are just right.

Bolded for recognizable/significant buffs.

Looking somewhat better already.

X-23 can cancel her Crescent Scythe now, making a very unsafe move or something you'd typically accidentally do in your air combos theoretically more safe and may lead to more mixup options.

Back in this Mahvel shit. I'm pretty rusty right now, working on forming a decent team. Current one is Dante/Iron Man/Spencer.

Any good damage combos with Dante that aren't too execution heavy? I finished his trials and that's about the limit of what I can do right now. My hammer time skills are lackluster as well as my wu-tang killer bee

Funny thing is, outside Joe, Super Skrull, Modok, Arthur Jill and Shuma - I see those characters all the time. Even the ones mentioned I can recall seeing most of them in tournament footage in the last month or so. Only truly legit rarity I can think of is Arthur. Much ado about nothing. Maybe things are different online, but I can't identify with these supposed rare sitings. Sure, the prevalence is skewed toward the "Top tier" characters - but this is a fighting game. That's to be expected. Game's still hella new, too.

LMAO @ that list. Is that stream monster talk or actual MVC3 play talk?

Taskmaster, She Hulk, Storm, Deadpool, Amaterasu, Hulk, Chris, Iron Man, Trish are in what definition underused or rare? Some of those characters are some of the MOST used characters online while others are used more often in tournaments. The other characters on the list have seen a resurgence in play after EVO most notably Trish.

How is Hsien Ko not in assist character tier? Doom ASSIST TIER? Please tell me you are not serious.

Dorm, Zero and Sentinel saw very little play at EVO. Check the top 32 character usage list.

And that's the thing. No, I'm not. I know I'm not. I understand the ptw mentality. I never whine or complain onLive. Rolling with the punches is very much my MO. I'm not surprised by Wolkuma's popularity; I'm just bored by it now.

And, thinking about it, it isn't even how common the duo is that bothers me (or Wolv by himself), just how comparatively little effort it requires relative to its effectiveness. I probably encounter Dante more than any individual character in the game and yet I *love* going up against him. He's exciting to watch in action and I'm always seeing something new. A great Dante will ruin me but I'll lose with a grin. Against Wolv, it's usually with a sigh and an eye twitch.


On an unrelated note, I think I'm going to try maining MODOK. I think I'm a fighting game hipster. =[

They're seen more often than some, at least in the past. But these 3 are fading in terms of use.

This isn't a tier list btw. It's just experience relative to me in terms of what I play online and what i see on streams.

Taskmaster has never been above uncommon in use. Calling him brain dead easy is a bit silly when his real combos are actually not brain dead as well and he lacks the mobility of the upper tier characters.

Only thing easy is the basic generic bnb, that was figured out day one. That's not even what you should be doing with him either. Going by that logic dante is easy LOL

I know that feel, bro. Ever since I hit 4th Lord recently, I've started playing nothing but higher level players. Pretty much every single team features at least one of the following:

Phoenix
Wolverine
Tron assist
Haggar assist
DHC Trick

The most overpowered, soon-to-be-nerfed BS in the game. I use none of this because I don't like to tier whore, but I have a really tough time beating a lot of these guys. I know that Ultimate will correct a lot of this but frankly I think that Ultimate will have its own set of top-tier nonsense.

So I've decided. I'm going to start maining a top-tier team. I just don't want to lose anymore just because somebody else picks characters based on their cheapness and not how they play or how fun they are. I'll still have a couple of other teams with characters that I really like, but I'm definitely going to put in a lot of time with the strongest characters and options in Ultimate.

I only play on XBL both player and ranked matches and the bolded characters I see a decent amount. Yea there are a ton of Wolvie / Dante / Wesker / Akuma teams out there, but I've actually been pretty happy with the character variety. Especially coming from SF4 where it was shoto central.

I run into so many Hulks, Amaterasus and Ryus online it's not even funny. Hulks are usually paired with Sentinel for that super armor extravaganza. I'm expecting a lot of Hulk/Sentinel/Nemesis teams in Ultimate for that maximum armor combo. As for Amaterasu... easy mode H combo. Ryu seems to be a popular online, too. Especially when paired up with Akuma. Beams, beams and more beams.

I don't see too many Spencers online. He's like the 'best' least used character in the game.

This was the worst goddamn thing about that game. I started picking Zangief after a while just so I could blow up flowchart kens.

Got tired of it though...
